Simonsvlei Chardonnay 2007 : Brief Notes
Last night, Sian, PK and I went to Qing Sushi in Canal Walk and had bottle of Simonsvlei Chardonnay 2007.
The wine is very drinkable, very early for a chardonnay; its lightly wooded, and very 'friendly' for a chardonnay. I think it would be a good wine to give to someone who generally drinks lighter whites like Chenin or Sav. Blanc who is looking to enquire about Chardonnay.
Its a good table wine with sushi and seafood, the pairing was good (so full marks to me!), very good value (i.e. you could drink it during the week without burning a hole in your pocket), and well worth the opening.
If you are looking for a chardonnay to rock your socks off, this IS NOT IT! But as a decent balanced table chardonnay you could do a lot worse, it avoids the temptation to be too acidic in the search for complexity, which like so many of Simonsvlei wines mean that the wine is infinitely drinkable.
